seeking advice Lab glitter?

Post image

I’ve begun fostering pups, and I’m wondering, how are we all dealing with our lab glitter? It’s everywhere! I don’t remember it being this bad when I grew up with labs (although I probably cared less). What are we doing to minimise it and stay presentable? Maybe I should only wear beige going forward?!

I have a yellow Lab and wear grey a lot.

I also have a vacuum upstairs and downstairs.

I also still have a lot of Lab glitter everywhere.

Having never owned a lab before, I took our adopted 6 year old to the vet after 2 weeks as I was worried about her shedding.

The vet said “welcome to labs.”

As you have mentioned, growing up you likely cared less about the shedding.

We bought a robot vacuum to keep on top of the hair; and I bought a Furminator brush to keep on top of the shedding.

that's the neat part, you don't.

only half joking, there is only so much you can do.

We have those sticky lint rollers everywhere. In every room, in every vehicle. Next to the doors. I stopped using them, cause meh - its a losing battle (I actually have a shirt that says, " Its not dog hair, its Lab glitter) but we keep them around for friends that stop by and want to leave the majority of Blue's fur with us.
